So many people are so acustomed to holding down the backspace key to remove text first and THEN type what they want to replace it with. They could simply put the mouse at the beginning of what needs to be replaced, hit insert and away you go – your text is replaced. Of course they could use shortcut keys to block the text to be replaced and delete it which is quicker than holding the backspace key – but that requires too may dexterity. Also, when you need to go back and just replace one letter or capitalize it, its so easy just to hit insert and type-over the character you want to replace. Maybe they should rename the key typeover (actually I think that’s what used to be shown on the screen when you hit insert so you knew you were in ‘type-over’ mode).

Thanks for the tip on inserting copied text or images – I didn’t know that one.
